drilling my tank
 

hi there all you victorians. where would i go to get a tank drilled? i just finnished building my new stand and i ordered an RO/DI filter from J&L and i need my tank drilled before i can go any farther. how big should the hole be? i have ordered a mag700, it will be at 4' head so it will pump 475gph.

:mrgreen:

hole size
 

at 475gph, 1/2" to 3/4" bulkhead should be fine. just for future consideration - if you ever want to use that same hole for a drain instead, get a bigger hole because its easier to plumb down to 1/2" from a 1.5" bulkhead than to get a bigger hole cut later.

drill it for a 1.5" bulkhead which is a 2.25" hole I believe, I would have to check to confirm this though. there is a glass shop in town, Brad might be able to tell you the name better than I as I have only been there once.
